Dude!! Long time no see!! You might remember me from .cafe before I
decertified.

I think the .log you're after is either in the root, the windows folder, or
the system32 folder.

I forget which. And I'm not going to scandisk a 250 GB drive just to find
the .log file :)

You will find the chkdsk log entry in the Application log of Event Viewer.
To access the Event Viewer
.. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools> Event Viewer > Application.
.. Look for the Event from the source "WinLogon".
